It's almost been a year since you've been gone. I don't know how to cope with it anymore. I'm alone, your father left, I don't have anyone in my life who understands how this feels. I'm going to be suffering in silence when the day comes

I remember so keenly the pain of one year, mateo's mom. I'm so sorry mateo is not here with you. If you come to Glow In the Woods on his day, I'll be here to remember him with you and to send you some love and abide with you from afar. I promise. And if you can't come back, please know that I am thinking of you, and of your boy, and hoping mateo's day gives you some space to grieve and love however you need.

If suffering in silence is not what you need, just come here and I will weep for your son with you.
